Beekeeping Taster Course

The Omlet bee family are going to start keeping bees this year; today
John and Isobel are going on the first session of their beekeeping
course. They get to put on a beesuit (John puts on some very fetching
marigolds) before they go through some bees with expert bee keeper
Viktor Zaichenko. They learn lots about the way bees work, how to
recognise the different members of the colony and the types of things a
beekeeper has to do.

A good way to find out if you would like to start beekeeping is to go on a beekeeping taster course.
You can get to talk to an expert beekeeper and spent some time handling and being around bees.
There is no substitute for looking inside a colony to discover if beekeeping is for you. This first starter
course will not teach you everything you need to know but it will give you the encouragement to learn more.
